Noam Party to Run Alone After Last-Minute Deal Collapse
Negotiations for a joint electoral slate between the Noam party and other factions, including Ach"i and "HaKehel," collapsed at the last minute before the candidate list deadline. Despite intensive discussions throughout the day and an agreement initially reached with "HaKehel," led by Elbaum, the talks ultimately failed.
Attempts were also made to bring former MK Michael Ben-Ari and Baruch Marzel into the Noam party's list. However, both decided not to run in the upcoming elections. Consequently, Noam will contest the elections independently, along with Ach"i and "HaKehel," who will also run separately.
The failure to unite these right-wing religious parties highlights the challenges in forming a cohesive bloc ahead of the elections.
